    Whatever language you have some experience with or whatever language your server is running.

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    This forum is made in PHP, and it seems like a great forum to me. But, other great forums have also been made in Perl, and a good forum can also be made in ASP, or even JSP. Basically, all those languages have the same capabilities.

    I think PHP is the fastest though.

    You could always write your own forum-optimized web server from scratch in C/C++.

    You can use Perl in ASP -- it's not a language, it's a technology

    LOL at the web server I prefer PHP over all of them, because you're more likely to find it on a web server.

    CGI = common gateway interface

    You can use any language to make a CGI program, but they're incredibly inflexible for full page layout. However, C++ through CGI will whip PHP/ASP(VB) and all the rest

    It all depends what you are comfortable with. If you already know VB, it may be best to just stick with ASP. If you are good at java, then look into JSP. No matter what language you do it in, it will look the same to the user.
